add to cart close window

During the last ten days of April 1923, the acting mayor of the city of Bonn, Germany, was asked to call upon the district delegate of the Interallied Rhineland Commission. He was informed that the military authorities needed furnishings for the families of about 200 railway officials and that the municipal administration of Bonn should deliver these furnishings. The mayor replied that the municipal administration did not have the furnishings and had no money with which to purchase them. He was then informed that they would be requisitioned in any case.
